Ridiculous. Only someone with chronic entitle-itis would even consider doing such a thing in a hospital. The rest of us would abide by the rules that are there for the safety of the patients, especially the tiniest, most vulnerable ones. I feel bad for the nurses who went above and beyond to protect someone who was in their care.Toni Slawinski Bracconeri

Not sure - If it was you or me... in jailDeborah Towler

People be crazy its his kid he did nothing wrong or harmful. He had permission from the Doctor and the nurses told him no.Jeremy Cordock

Those nurses don't deserve to be treated that way & he should be held accountable for his actions. That's a shame.Angela Downey

I guess rich people really can do what ever they want.Michael Gerlan

If I took my child out of the hospital and on the way pushed a nurse they would lock me up and throw away the key ...makes the justice system extremely unjust !!!!!Jeanette Quattrocchi-Gokey

Another Kennedy criminal!!!Terry R Mcphillips

Douglas Kennedy bullied the nurses at Northern Westchester who were only trying to do their job & it's a shame that another Kennedy has been acquitted for violent behavior!Oksana Tomaszewsky

Shocker!Thomas Ryan

Just another Kennedy using his money to get away with stuff.Melanie Studell McKay
